Extraordinary African Safaris
A dedicated birding expedition across Tanzania's habitats — Rift lakes, forests, and savannah — with a specialist guide and a serious species list in mind.
With over 1,100 species, Tanzania is one of Africa’s premier birding destinations, and a dedicated birding expedition is designed to maximise your list. Travelling at a birder’s pace with a specialist guide who knows the calls and the seasonal hotspots, you string together contrasting habitats — the Rift Valley soda lakes, the endemic-rich Eastern Arc forests, Tarangire’s woodlands, and the open Serengeti — for remarkable diversity.
It’s a focused trip for keen and serious birders, targeting endemics and specials alongside the resident and migratory wealth, with big game viewed along the way. The longer the expedition, the deeper the list.

Early starts catch the most calls and movement.
The guide tracks down endemics and key species.
Run the day's checklist over sundowners.
A focused trip for committed birders chasing a serious list — the specialist guide is the key to finding the endemics and specials. November to April adds migrants and breeding plumage. If you simply enjoy birds alongside a wildlife safari, our shorter Birdwatching Safari is a better fit; this is for the dedicated.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Birding Expedition, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
